Ammeter
Product Code : SCL-PL-12373
Ammeter (SKU SCL-PL-12373) is an analog bench meter that measures the electric current flowing through a circuit, in amperes, over a 0–10 A scale. It sits in an angled plastic desk-stand case so students can read it easily on the workbench, and it serves school physics, college labs and general testing. The ammeter comes from the Science Lab Supplies factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, which manufactures it and deals directly with schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The meter has a clear analog scale running from 0 to 10 A with a stated resolution of 0.01 A. Its plastic casing forms an angled desk stand that tilts the dial towards the user, which improves the viewing angle when the meter stands on a lab workbench among other circuit components.

Applications and Experiments for the Ammeter
The ammeter is placed in series with a circuit to show how much current flows, so students can relate current to voltage, resistance and power. Its 0–10 A span handles both small student circuits and higher-current work such as electromagnets and heating-effect experiments in school physics lab equipment sets.
- Class 10 science: Ohm's law and the effect of resistance on current.
- Class 12 physics: V–I characteristics and current in series and parallel branches.
- Heating effect of current and electromagnet strength against current.
- Polytechnic and ITI electrical trades: current measurement practice on the bench.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Ammeter is supplied as a single unit as described above: the analog 0–10 A meter in its angled plastic desk-stand casing. Leads, a power supply and a voltmeter for the same experiments are separate items and can be requested on the same quotation if needed.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Enquire for one meter or for a matching quantity to go with your student voltmeters. Each Science Lab Supplies quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for exactly what you request, and supplies, rheostats and leads can be priced on the same document.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship as a registered exporter to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Start an enquiry from the enquiry cart or the contact page; for tender purchases, see the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of this Ammeter?
The scale reads from 0 to 10 A with a stated resolution of 0.01 A. Estimate the expected current before connecting, and keep it within 10 A to protect the meter.
How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?
Always in series, so the whole circuit current passes through it, with the positive terminal towards the positive side of the supply. Never connect an ammeter directly across a cell or power supply.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
A manufacturer. The ammeter is produced in the Science Lab Supplies works in Saha, Ambala, India, and the prices you receive are quoted by that factory rather than by a distributor.
Why does the case have an angled stand?
The angled desk-stand casing tilts the scale towards the student, giving a better viewing angle on a workbench and making it easier to read the pointer without parallax from a steep angle.
Related Measuring and Control Items
Current readings pair with a voltage reading, a way of adjusting the current and, for class demonstrations, a large display. These four items make up a full measuring bench for school and college electricity practicals and can be added to the ammeter quotation.
- Voltmeter — analog DC 0–20 V meter for potential difference.
- Digital Multimeter — one meter for voltage, current and resistance checks.
- Demonstration Meter — a meter for whole-class demonstrations.
- Rheostat — varies the current the ammeter reads.
